On the eve of the Spring Festival, Zhao Cheng and his party returned to Yanchuan City smoothly.
This year, the Right Prime Minister's residence was more lively than usual during the festival. Both Chunqin and Yang Cai'e had noticeably protruding bellies, but Chunqin's was more obvious.
Shi Minghua said that Yang Cai'e had suffered from malnutrition for many years and was physically weak, unlike Chunqin, who was a head maid in the Right Prime Minister's mansion. She needed to pay extra attention to her pregnancy.
Therefore, everyone in the household took good care of Yang Cai'e. In addition to Yan Lan and her two personal maids, even Zhou Nuo took the initiative to befriend Yang Cai'e and showed her extra concern.
As a result, the relationship between Yang Cai'e and Zhou Nuo improved a lot, and the family was happy together.
Seeing that Zhao Cheng's family was getting better and better, but Park Yoo-hee was still not pregnant, Mu Zhaojun began to think about arranging for Zhao Yang to take a concubine, but Zhao Yang stopped her.
Although Zhao Yang was simple-minded, he knew how good Park Yoo-hee was to him. It was he who objected to Mu Zhaojun finding him another woman, saying that he only wanted Park Yoo-hee.
Park Yoo-hee's performance at the Right Prime Minister's residence was remarkable, and Mu Zhaojun didn't want to wrong her. She just reminded her to work harder and have a child with Zhao Yang as soon as possible.
Zhao Zhengpu was, after all, the son of Park Yoo-hee and someone else. No matter how open-minded Mu Zhaojun was, she still hoped that Zhao Yang would have his own child.
These things were no secret. When Zhao Cheng learned of them, he felt that the trend of urging people to get married and have children during the Spring Festival has never changed from ancient times to the present.
Construction on Yanchuan Square and the Medical Museum had already begun before Zhao Cheng's return, with Dong Hua and Huang Hua in charge of the work. After Zhao Cheng's return, he took over the supervision of Yanchuan Square, relieving Dong Hua's burden. Yiwen Society also got on track, publishing a newspaper called "Yiwen Bi-monthly" every two weeks, which became a popular topic of conversation among the people of Yanchuan.
Regarding penicillin, operations have begun at the three channels initially designated by the Eastern Chamber of Commerce and the Imperial Court. However, progress at the medical clinics is slow due to a lack of sufficient physicians. This step cannot be rushed; once the medical clinics are built, they will gradually reach a significant scale.
Supermarkets in the Yanchuan area are under construction. Xiao Luomu spent over a month securing deals with the merchants in Jingdong and plans to begin building the supermarket in Jingdong County immediately after the Spring Festival. He simply hasn't returned Gan Lang to Zhao Cheng yet, hoping Gan Lang will stay with him in Jingdong County and be returned to Zhao Cheng when needed.
The factories and warehouses built in Jiangyang County and Yunjing County in the second half of last year have taken shape and will be able to supply goods to Nanzhou after the Spring Festival. Zhao Cheng will soon be able to get a piece of Nanzhou's pie.
Yang Qingzhi and Zhou Jinghuan were also eagerly anticipating the arrival of the goods. Both of them sent generous gifts to the Right Prime Minister's residence during the Spring Festival, urging Zhao Cheng to send the goods as soon as possible so that the trade between the Eastern Chamber of Commerce and Southern Zhou could flow quickly.
The gears of the Eastern Chamber of Commerce were turning smoothly, and Zhao Cheng's life and career were developing in a positive direction.
The only regret is that Zhao Hu still hasn't woken up. A Tao stayed with him all the way home in the carriage, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
Zhao Cheng stood by Zhao Wu's bedside, looking at Zhao Hu who was still unconscious.
Atao, Heng Wenhao, Zhao Yan, and Dong Hua also stayed by the bedside.
"Is this guy addicted to sleeping?"
“I slept with him, Atao, you slept with him too, Yanlan slept with him too, even the old man slept with him for several nights, why hasn’t he woken up yet?”
"Aren't the four of us the people he cares about most?!"
"No! He's an orphan who grew up in the Right Prime Minister's residence. To him, who is more important than us?"
"Could it be a winter painting?!"
Zhao Cheng looked at Dong Hua and said, "Zhao Hu actually likes you the most?"
Donghua pouted and said, "Master, don't talk nonsense. He and I are like siblings."
Zhao Cheng earnestly advised, "Don't hide it anymore! Tell me honestly, did Zhao Hu secretly confess his feelings to you?"
"No, there really isn't!"
"Then he has a crush on you."
"master……"
Zhao Cheng pulled Dong Hua onto the bed and said, "You sleep with him tonight and see how it goes!"
Donghua was almost in tears, crying out, "Master, please stop... Why does he always need someone to sleep with him? Is he that starved for love?"
“Yes, he just needs love!” Zhao Cheng nodded vigorously.
"Alas!" Heng Wenhao sighed, "The affection the Prince Consort has for Brother Zhao Hu is truly touching."
Zhao Cheng looked at Heng Wenhao, then suddenly snapped his fingers and said, "I understand!"
Everyone looked at Zhao Cheng at the same time.
"What do you know?"
“It’s you!” Zhao Cheng stared at Heng Wenhao.
Heng Wenhao felt intimidated by Zhao Cheng's gaze and took a step back, saying, "I... what happened to me?"
"Zhao Hu likes you!"
"Absolutely...absolutely not!" Heng Wenhao stammered.
Zhao Cheng pushed Heng Wenhao onto the bed as well, saying, "You sleep with Zhao Hu tonight! Dong Hua, don't leave either, you two sleep together!!"
Heng Wenhao: "..."
Winter painting: "..."
Zhao Yan advised Zhao Cheng: "Brother..."
"You come too!" Zhao Cheng pushed Zhao Yan over as well, saying, "Zhao Hu was the one who taught you martial arts, so he probably cares about you a lot!"
Atao rolled her eyes and turned to leave, saying, "I'm going to tell the Princess that you've gone mad, Prince Consort."
"etc!"
Zhao Cheng called out to A Tao, his expression turning serious, and asked, "Back in Mujing Bay, Luo Ying asked you if you were related to the Black Mountain Mine. Luo Ying must know something about you. Miss A Tao, Zhao Hu came from the Black Mountain Mine. If you know anything, please tell us. Perhaps we can determine whether Zhao Hu still has anyone he cares about in the Black Mountain Mine."
After thinking about it seriously for a while, Atao said, "Impossible. A place like the Black Mountain Mine would only make people want to escape, how could they miss it?"
